SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The 1812RS Slicer with Retail Scale is designed for connection to a Hobart
SP80 / SP 1500 / SP21500 System Printer. The model 1812RS slicers are equipped
with Hobart designed motors and feature the exclusive Hobart Stay-Sharp cast
solid stainless steel knife. Model 1812RS is available for single- phase
electrical service and is furnished with a cord and plug as standard
equipment. Other features and options include:
The Power Interrupt feature is standard: It requires the slicer to be manually
re-started after a power interruption.
The Gauge Plate Interlock feature is standard: It prevents the Carriage Tray
from being removed unless the Carriage is in the Home position (pulled towards
the operator to the limit of its travel) and the Gauge Plate is CLosep. When
the Carriage Tray is removed, the slicer will turn itself Orr if it has not
previously been turned Orr. Once the Carriage Tray is removed, the slicer
cannot be started until the Carriage Tray is returned to its normal position.
With the Carriage Tray removed, the slicer cannot be turned on and the gauge
plate cannot be opened.
The Home$Start feature is standard: It requires the carriage to be in the Home
position before the slicer can be started.
The AutoShutoff option turns the slicer Orr if a full stroke of the carriage
has not been made within a brief time interval. AutoShutoff option is factory
installed only.
Additional carriage fences which can be positioned to limit movement of the
product during slicing are available as accessory options.
The model 1812RS Slicer (Fig. 1) is equipped with legs to allow easy cleaning
underneath.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the slicer, check for possible shipping damage.
If the slicer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact
the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installing the slicer, test the electrical service to assure it
agrees with the specifications on the machine data plate which is located on
the front of the slicer.
ASSEMBLY
Locate the lubricant shipped with the slicer. Put the lubricant in a safe
place so it is available for machine lubrication. Refer to LUBRICATION, page
8.
Remove the Carriage Tray from its shipping location, place it in position on
the slicer (Fig. 2). Secure the Carriage Tray to the slicer by lowering the
Carriage Tray Lever Arm and tightening the Carriage Tray Locking Knob. Remove
Scale Platform and Platter from shipping box and assemble per instructions on
page 5. The top mounted Sharpener should already be in its normal position
(Fig. 3). A cable and connector from the slicer / scale connects to a
connector on the peripheral printer unit. Conversion kits are available to
adapt the SP system printer to use with the Model 1812RS Slicer/ Scale. The
conversion kits should only be installed by Hobart trained service
technicians, which should be done during calibration and sealing of the
scale.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING: THIS MACHINE IS PROVIDED WITH A THREE-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG. THE
OUTLET TO WHICH THIS PLUG IS CONNECTED MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF THE
RECEPTACLE IS NOT THE PROPER GROUNDING TYPE, CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN.
CLEAN BEFORE USING
The 1812RS Slicer must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after installation
and before being used. Refer to CLEANING, page 5.
OPERATION
SAFETY
SAFETY DEVICES INCORPORATED IN THIS SLICER MUST BE IN THEIR CORRECT OPERATING
POSITIONS ANYTIME THE SLICER IS IN USE.
The Top Knire Cover must be in position and secured with the LatcH Knos (Fig.
4). The Rina Guaro is not removable. The Deflector (Fig. 5) is mounted behind
the slicer knife on a spring clip. The Tor Knire Cover and the DeFrtector can
be removed for cleaning.
The Meat Grip must be used when slicing short ends to keep your hand(s) away
from the knife.
When the slicer is not running, the InpEx Knos (Fig. 4) must be turned back
below zero (fully clockwise). The Gauce Pate will then cover the knife edge.
Always UNPLUG the Power Corp before cleaning or moving the Slicer.
WARNING: ROTATING KNIFE. USE FEED GRIP. UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING, SERVICING,
OR REMOVING PARTS. REPLACE PARTS BEFORE USE.
SLICING — MODEL 1812RS
Pull the Carriage all the way toward you until it reaches its stop. With the
Meat Grip out of the way, place the product to be sliced on the Carriage Tray.
Set the Meat Grip against the product. The ON button (Fig. 4) turns the slicer
on. The OFF button turns the slicer off.
If the Meat Grip is not needed, it may be stored out of the way by sliding it
to the top of its travel, rotating it under the Carriage Tray, and allowing it
to rest in the Retaining Clip (Fig. 4).
Adjust the gauge plate to obtain the desired slice thickness by turning the
Index Knob (Fig. 4). The numbers on the Index Knob do not indicate actual
measurements but may be used for reference to duplicate slice thickness.
Use the Carriage Tray Handle (Fig. 4) to push the Carriage back and forth to
slice.
USING THE RETAIL SCALE
Sliced product falls directly on the Scale Platter (Fig. 4). Capacity is 6.06
pounds by .01 lb increments. Scale/Printer functions are described in the
SP1500 Scale Printer OPERATOR and SUPERVISOR manuals which come with the
peripheral printer.
SCALE PLATFORM AND PLATTER ASSEMBLY
Proper assembly of the nylon scale platform and stainless steel scale platter
is necessary before weighing. The pedestal of the nylon scale platform fits in
the hole in the slicer base: The pin on the pedestal goes to the rear. Level
the scale platform so the bubble appears in the middle of the circle by
turning the slicer legs in or out. Place the stainless steel platter on the
nylon scale platform so the backsplash goes to the rear and the two pins on
the bottom fit the holes in the nylon scale platform.
CLEANING
This machine MUST be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each day’s
operation or anytime it is not to be used for an extended period of time.
WARNING: THE SLICER KNIFE IS VERY SHARP. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
WORKING NEAR THE KNIFE.
WARNING: UNPLUG MACHINE POWER CORD AND TURN THE INDEX KNOB FULLY
CLOCKWISE BEFORE CLEANING THE SLICER.
Using a mild detergent and hot water solution and a clean cloth, wipe all
surfaces of the machine. Rinse using another clean cloth and fresh water. Use
only products formulated to be safe on stainless steel or aluminum.
Remove the Top Knife Cover by rotating the Latch Knob (Fig. 6). Remove the
Deflector (Fig. 5) from the knife support. Wash and rinse both sides of the
Top Knife Cover and Deflector.
Clean the Ring Guard by inserting a thin cloth soaked in a mild detergent and
hot water solution. Insert cloth between the Ring Guard and the Knife. Place
right hand above and left hand below the gauge plate. While holding the cloth
with both hands, work it between the Knife and Ring Guard. Pullthe cloth
completely around the Ring Guard (Fig. 7). Repeat this procedure if
needed
CAREFULLY wash and rinse both sides of the knife by wiping outward from the
center. Never use steel pads to clean the knife.
Do not exceed chemical manufacturer’s recommended concentrations for detergent
or sanitizer. Do not exceed 200 parts per million concentration of available
chlorine. For example, mixing 1 tablespoon of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite bleach
with 1 gallon of water yields a solution containing 200 ppm of available
chlorine. Solution with concentrations greater than 200 ppm will accelerate
corrosion of metals. Maximum exposure to sanitizing solution varies with
temperature and concentration. Rinse with clean water.
Remove the sharpener by pushing the Lock Lever to the left and lifting
sharpener up off of its bracket. Clean the sharpener using mild detergent and
hot water solution and a clean cloth. Wipe out any product residue. Rinse with
clean water.
Reassemble sharpener: With Lock lever to the left (unlocked), place sharpener
over guide pins (Figs. 8, 9) so the rear slot on the sharpener slides over the
rear guide pin. Press down to engage sharpener over front guide pin. Slide
Lock Lever to the right to lock. Make sure the sharpener is tightly engaged.
Carefully re-assemble the Top Knife Cover and Deflector. The Ring Guard is not
removable.
The
scale platter (stainless steel) and the scale platform (nylon) may be removed
(Fig. 10) and washed in a dishwasher.
If using a chlorinated sanitizing solution, dilute per manufacturer’s
guidelines to prevent discoloration of the base. NOTE: Failure to follow use,
care, and maintenance instructions may void your Hobart warranty. 
MAINTENANCE
KNIFE SHARPENING
The Hobart cast stainless steel knife will provide long service in normal food
retail or commercial kitchen use. However, in high volume applications where
it is a practice to sharpen the knife frequently or even daily, the knife will
be expended in a shorter time.
Sharpen only when necessary; prolonged or too frequent sharpening results in
unnecessary knife wear.
WARNING: UNPLUG MACHINE POWER CORD.
Turn the index knob fully clockwise. Remove the Top Knife Cover by rotating
the Latch Knob (Fig. 6).
Thoroughly wash the area around the knife, the exposed knife surfaces and the
knife edge. Grease should not be allowed to transfer from the knife to the
sharpening stones.
Plug in machine power cord and push the On button to start the slicer.
With left hand, lift sharpener handle to a horizontal position (Fig.
11).
Pull
sharpener handle toward you, applying pressure until the handle has gone as
far as it will go (Fig. 12). Sharpen knife for 5 seconds. Release sharpener
handle. If necessary, repeat sharpening for another 5 seconds.
Push the Off button. Unplug machine power cord.
Wipe the slicer with a clean damp cloth to remove any grinding particles.
Replace the Top Knife Cover; rotate the Latch Knob to secure cover (Fig. 6).
NOTE: Sharpening stones are expendable and not covered under warranty.
LUBRICATION
WARNING: UNPLUG MACHINE POWER CORD.
The carriage Slide Rod Reservoir (Fig. 13) should be filled monthly with
several drops of Lubriplate FM0-200-AW lubricant which was supplied with the
slicer. DO NOT use vegetable oil. 
Occasionally, the gauge plate slide rods (Fig. 14)
should be lightly coated with the same lubricant. Turn the index knob fully
counterclockwise when lubricating these slide rods, and then turn it fully
clockwise when finished. Wipe off excess lubricant.
DO NOT lubricate the meat grip slide rod. It must be kept clean but not
lubricated.
Additional lubricant is available from your jocal Hobart Service Office.
The motor has sealed bearings and requires no lubrication maintenance.
WEAR ADJUSTMENT
After several years of operation and many sharpenings of the knife, it may
become necessary to have the gauge plate adjusted closer to the knife. Contact
your local Hobart Service Office if this service becomes necessary as it must
be done by an authorized Hobart Service Technician.
